The versatile actress-director Xu Jinglei will try her hand at a new film that depicts white-collar workers, she said at a public event on Monday, March 21 in Hong Kong, "Guangzhou Daily" reports.

The new project is said to be an updated version of her highly-acclaimed film, "Go Lala Go!" about romance and survival in the office, which she directed and acted in last year. The new flick is likely to be the last project which would feature her acting and directing in tandem.

While the actress kept silent on speculation of an upcoming sequel, she didn't speak about the choice of the male lead. But things will turn out as the actress is scheduling a press conference on April 28 in Beijing.

The new film will begin shooting on May 1.

Xu made her directorial debut with the 2003 film, "My Father and I". She was named best director for her film, "Letter from an Unknown Woman" at the 2004 San Sebastian International Film Festival, in Spain. In 2006, she presented "Dreams May Come" and in 2010 "Go Lala Go!", her fourth feature film as a director.
